The Journey Of Life - Poem by Sylvia Chidi

The journey of life begunThat fateful day I was bornMy eyes opened up blissfully to the sunMy soul, heart and brain emerged as oneBehold my journey had begun!

This little child in time has grownYes! Time has flown, time has flownA lot has been learnt on my very own

Life has been a mystifying journeyWith every up and downWith tears and laughterWith hate and loveWith stupidity and wisdomWith enemies and friendsBut even in my journey of frustrationI have found a means of celebrationIn my toilsome exploration to my fateful destination

Tick tock, the clock goes onMinute by minute, then hourlyMonth by month then yearlyTick tock, and in my journeyI have searched, questioned and answeredWhilst walking painfully along many pathsSometimes requesting protectionSeeking from above immunizationWhen hit by obstacles in locations

But I am still on this journeyShaking hands with the sad and merryMy passion for life which was once rawIs now confined within the Almighty’s lawFor life's journey itself never endsOnce you have reached the end of each roadUplifting off your entire cloggy loadBe it in a hot summer or a winter’s coldBehold! A new journey will unfold
